I get hurt easily when I feel lonely, and when it happens in the beginning of the day, that day will be ruined definitely. I know the core problem is that I feel so lonely that I can't cope with this feeling. How do you deal with loneliness?

Hi, There are many different types of people on this earth, including those who never feel lonely and enjoy their own company. There are also many people who feel sensitive and become hurt easily. There is no right or wrong way to fee, I think, and people change all the time. While you might feel lonely at this stage of your life, you might indeed change within a few years and learn to love being by yourself.If you dont, no problem. I agree with others here who encourage you to find more friends.But sometimes having NO friends at all is FAR better than having bad types of friends who will lead you astray or be a negative influence on you. So, choose your friends wiself :) On days that you wake up and people cause you to feel pain or you feel excessivly lonely, try communicating with someone who is close to you and that you know you can rely on for support. We all need people in our lives to provide a strong support when we ourselves are feeling fragile. And choose not to allow anyone to ruin your day, life is too short, you should try to enjoy every single moment! Have fun :)

I guess it has something to do with your daily routine. Eat banana and it will lessen your stress level. It helps keep our mind more relax because it contains amino acid that is converted to serotonin that reduce depression. That is one of the reasons why you can't see a sad monkey. lols Humor aside, that is real, and it should be added on your daily meal and you'll see time to time you'll be positive more often.

Oh, come on! Don't you have any friends? Just invite them to take a walk or watch a movie. Or if there is really no one available for you , watch a comic movie yourself will ease loneliness. But do remember, make more friends.

Reading a book :D It'll take you to a whole different world and you can forget about all your loneliness and become another character for the day in another world. If you hate reading, then watch some movies or shows. Or hang out with your family and friends.

Do you live alone? Why do you feel so lonely? Are you in any relationship?
